How to Help a Friend who is in an Abusive Relationship

• LEARN as much as you can about domestic violence. The greatest difficulties victims face are overcoming the emotional, physical, legal, and financial hurdles that are consequences of their victimization.

• LISTEN. A sympathetic ear is sometimes the best help you can give.

• BELIEVE what they say and try to help them find a safe place to stay. Never underestimate their fear or danger. Call the local crisis line, shelter, or domestic violence program.

• VOLUNTEER. You can make a difference simply by driving someone to the grocery store, babysitting, accompanying her to court, or by donating basic household goods.
